spring has sprung

Well, the fruits of our labors are ours to enjoy, now that spring is here. We did have some snow damage, but not too bad. For the record, we had 18" of snow in December, and then in February, we got two back to back storms, with over 24" of snow. It was nuts, but I do love a good snow storm.


Start of the snow in December.


A few hours later...


Early morning after a night of snow.

That was December's snow. As impressive as it was...it was the lesser storm! February brought more snow, in two back to back storms. As you can see, it was crazy!


Fun digging that out!


Took a week for me to be able to get to the edge of the pond to check on it.

We lost a couple of branches on the maple, and lost one shrub, and had to tie up a couple of trees, but for the most part, we weathered the storms pretty well.

So, this spring we have found another project believe it or not. We ripped out all the ivy in the front yard. Here is an after photo. Maybe we just don't know how to relax and enjoy? ; )


No more ivy!
